On the feast of St. Vardanans, the liturgy was celebrated in the St. Gayane monastery of the Mother See, under the solemnity of the Patriarch of All Armenians. Prince Garegin Srvandztian was also one of the brave men of Vardans, so this day is also the day of the naming of the Patriarch of All Armenians, Karekin II. At the end of the liturgy, the Patriarch's Prayer was offered.
